Student Success!!  

Now Francis is a primary teacher at Isumbwe Primary School , Katavi Region on Lake Tanganyika!!

Francis is just one!   A vigorous and enthusiastic student with a broad smile he was enrolled at Bishop Durning School in Arusha Tanzania and completed his studies to be a primary school teacher.   Now he is  instructing in the classroom. A few years ago Chris and Sasha visited Francis and were shown an array of teaching resources he had created, one to teach electricity theory, another an idea tree to help with writing.   Francis was boarding in Arusha, away from caregivers in the Kilema area.    He was a KSF-sponsored graduate from Ifati School, Kilema before arriving to Bishop Durning teacher college.   There he was well liked and was the ‘first boy’, a position of leadership and excellence. It has been a privilege to see him grow and develop in his career choice.
